About ANSYS

What We Do

Engineering simulation is our sole focus. For more than 45 years, we have consistently advanced this technology to meet evolving customer needs.
ANSYS develops, markets and supports engineering simulation software used to predict how product designs will behave in real-world environments. We continually advance simulation solutions by

• Developing or acquiring the very best technologies
• Integrating them into a unified simulation platform capable of complex, multiphysics solutions
• Providing system services, including high-performance computing (HPC) and Cloud solutions, to manage simulation processes and data

Our Values

Culture and values are incredibly important to ANSYS. They inform us of who we are as a company and how we should act. Values are not posters hanging on a wall with trite or glib slogans. They are not a set of rules and regulations. They cannot just be handed down throughout the organization. They are shared beliefs — guideposts that we all follow when we are facing a challenge or a decision. Our values tell us how we live our lives and how we approach our jobs. Our values are crucial for fostering a culture of winning in our company:

Customer focus — Our customers come first because we can only be successful when we make our customers successful. This is what we do. This is why we are here. We view the world through the lens of our customers' challenges, and we align our resources to help them succeed. Every decision we make — from budgeting to prioritizing to hiring — must be done with the customer in mind.

Results and Accountability — We act with our overall goal in mind. Because we are constantly measuring and evaluating our progress, we can quickly adjust when we find room for improvement. We are personally accountable for the decisions we make, and we always strive to do the right thing for ANSYS and our customers. We challenge each other to perform, and we expect our colleagues to tell us when they believe we are making a poor choice.

Innovation — We know that being a market leader means we must be constantly innovating. Our customers are depending on us to develop new solutions so they can drive innovation across their industries. We are passionate about expanding our technology into new areas to benefit our customers. But innovation goes beyond technology. We are also constantly rethinking our processes to continue to drive our leadership.

Transparency and Integrity — Everything we do — from sales to advertising to accounting — we do honestly and in the best interests of ANSYS. We do not have hidden agendas or conditions, as integrity and ethical conduct must be stitched into the fabric of our daily business. We encourage collaboration and full transparency in our decision-making. We share information through clear and honest communications — especially when the message is a difficult one.

Mastery — We are the best in the business, and we are recognized for our expertise. Customers seek us out because of our mastery of simulation and the industries we serve. Everything we do — from building products to selling solutions to consulting with customers to running the business — we do with expertise, knowledge and passion.

Inclusiveness — We know that our diversity makes us stronger. We believe in the value of a large variety of individual backgrounds and perspectives — in fact, we go out of our way to seek them. We respect other opinions and ideas — not just because it benefits us, but because it is the right thing to do.

Sense of Urgency — We know that in the business world, things move quickly. Our customers cannot wait and neither can we. We are proactive. We make decisions quickly to drive successful outcomes, but we do so in a responsible manner.

Collaboration and Teamwork — We come from different walks of life and work in different departments, but we partner to solve our customers' problems. We speak different languages and have different opinions, but we work together to develop and provide the most amazing simulation solutions available. We live on different continents and have studied different subjects in school, but we come together as ONE ANSYS.

Diversity and Inclusion

At ANSYS, we are committed to fostering a culture of diversity and inclusion. We strive to create a workplace where people from distinct backgrounds can come together to support each other and solve our customers’ problems. We respect, value, embrace and are strengthened by the unique perspectives that our employees bring to work each day to make us ONE ANSYS.

Creating a global team

We are on a remarkable journey — one that will change the world. To do this, we are building a truly global team that will enable this change by creating innovative solutions. We go out of our way to seek diverse opinions and ideas — not just because it benefits us, but because it's the right thing to do.

Developing talent through university relations

We are developing our future engineers, technologists and other professionals through university relations. Each semester, we offer students the knowledge and education they need to bring innovation to life through simulation. And, through various university partnerships and diversity outreach initiatives we, in turn, seek talent to help us redefine engineering through pervasive simulation.

Building diversity in leadership

We are committed to the growth and development of our employees. Our Women in Technology (WIT) group focuses its efforts on empowering our female professionals with tools and resources to foster their professional and personal growth. Through its various initiatives, WIT helps women realize their career aspirations and unleash their true potential.

Our Customers

More than 40,000 customers worldwide use ANSYS solutions, including 96 of the top 100 industrial companies on the FORTUNE 500 list. They represent a wide range of industries: aerospace, automotive, defense, electronics, energy, materials and chemical processing, turbomachinery, consumer products, healthcare, sports and many others.

These customers are designing new rockets for space exploration, autonomous automobiles, advanced implantable medical devices and patient-specific treatment procedures, supersonic trains, more efficient wind turbines and solar energy solutions, ever-smaller electronics for smartphones and computers, and embedded software for devices comprising the Internet of Things — to name only a few applications.

Where We Are

Since its founding, ANSYS has evolved from a single office that housed a small group of engineers to an international corporation with offices on three continents.

ANSYS is headquartered in the United States, south of Pittsburgh in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania. We have more than 75 strategic sales locations throughout the world with a network of channel partners in 40+ countries. Together the company fosters close partnerships with customers and provides local value-added service and support.

Simulation-Driven Product Development

By helping our customers verify how their new products will work before ever making a prototype, we save them time and money. Perhaps more importantly, we give them confidence that their products will perform flawlessly in service — an invaluable business asset. We call this process Simulation-Driven Product Development.

The ANSYS suite spans the entire range of physics, so no product design challenge is beyond our capabilities. Our software not only delivers efficiency, it drives innovation. It reduces or eliminates physical constraints, enabling simulated tests that might otherwise not be possible. It also fosters what-if thinking, so engineers can readily explore design alternatives for an optimal solution. Because our software enables you to test thousands of designs in the time it used to take to build a single prototype, the possibilities are endless. But when this exploration is done, Simulation-Driven Product Development will steer you to the single, best solution.
